To ALL WHoM IT MAY eoNoEnNi it known that I, N. F. IEETE,of Middletown,in the' countyof Middlesex, and State of Connecticut,`

have invented a new Iniprovement in Lamp-Shade; and I do hereby'de'clarethe following, when' taken in connection with the accompanying'drawings,and the letters of reference marked thereon, to be a. full, clear,'and

lexact description ofthe saine, and which said drawings vconstitutepartei' this specification,Vandrepresont, in-v Figure 1`, 'a side view.Figure 2, a. front view; Figure 3,41. top view; and in Figure'fla-rngadapted for the shade oi'- kerosene and similar lamps.

I 1 This invention is designed as an adjustable shade for burners oflamps, gas, orother lights, and consists 'in ,the peculiar construction,whereby the shade. may be set at any desired angle, orv at any pointaround the burner. 4

To enable others to construct hay improvement, I will proceed todescribe the same, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

I represent the' shade as. attached'to a coniinon gas-burner. A band orring,l A, upon which is formed a socket, al, is placed around theburner, and into the socket a an ann, B, is inserted, and so as to turnfreely therein from righttolet, asv denoted in iig. 3, and from thesaidl arin B project two arms C C, formed from wire or other sembelasticmaterial. D is the shade, fornied from any suitable material, 4and is ofplate, near` the two edges offwhich'are fixed sockets d, so asto'receive the end of theV arms O, thenatural position of the arms Cbeing to approach each othernerer than the distance of the two sockets dfrom cach other, so that one arm, C, is inserted into one socket; theother arm sprung out, as denoted in red, will, when released, springinto and enter -tho other socket tl, as denotedin figj 2. The action ofthe spring,-`bearing in the two sockets' d d, permits the free'inovementof the shadeto diiierent inclinations, as denoted iniig. 1, andyet so asto hold the shade at any desiredinelination. 'v n g i i The shade th'usarranged and attached to the bununer may be turned to the right or left,as denoted in fig.,

`iig..4, so that more than one shadefmaybe attached.

3, or adjusted to diiiferent inclinations, as denot'edin tig. 1,.thusvrforming aneat and convenient shade, cheap anddunable'in itsconstruction. I The ring which is attached to thc burner shonld'rbe of asize proportionateto the burner,` and may be made adjustable todifferent burners by forming the ring of elastic material, an'd dividingit, so as to permit ofits expansion, and, if desired, several socketsmaybe placed upon the'ring, as seen in I do not wish to be understood asbroadly elaiining'the attachment of a shadee to a burner,4 when .thesaid shade does not entirely surround'the burner, es such 'are coinmdnand well known; but

What I do claim as new, anddesire-to secure by L'ettcrs'Patent, is?- iThe combination and arrangement of the ringAwith one or more sockets a,so as to receive the arm B, the said arm having'attached thereto thearmsC 0,'pivotingthe shade D, so that the said shade may be turned to adiiierent inclination onithepivots d, to different positions to theright or left in the sockets a, as and for'the purpose-.herein setforth.
